Anyone using Shaw also getting slow down speeds?
 

I have noticed a noticeable slowdown in Shaw's cable internet last night and today.

I did a couple speedtests and some basic cmd line troubleshooting things. But otherwise those really are the only options I can think of to figure out what's up.

Has anyone heard of any maintenance or throttling going on?

Further info:

I have Shaw's Extreme Package 10Mb/1Mb

Typically the speedtest will show 9Mb/900kb but now it is showing 5-6Mb/900kb

Ping's to the test servers have been 200ms and higher (Lynden and Vancouver server both tested)

I can't determine whether or not games are affected as there was an update from Steam that has caused some wild ping problems.

You have tried speedtest.net, have you tried www.speakeasy.net/speedtest with the Seattle server?

My download speed isn't near the advertised speed, but it up there time to time.

they might be doing upgrades in certain areas to get ready for the new internet speeds

contact shaw if you're still experiencing slow internet

yeah shaw is upgrading their services

not slow my area :D

It seems mine has been upgraded. Was peaking at 600kb/s download before, now at about 1000kb/s.

i am getting horrible speeds too for the past maybe a week?

i do have xtreme 1 too, but i'm not even topping 3MB for down. this is sad.

back a month or 2 ago when my ip got changed, i was almost topping 10MB down anytime of the day. now it's just wtf.

sounds like you're on the high-speed service

it will be upgraded from 5 Mbps to 7.5 Mbps

contact shaw to see if they can fix the problem for you

No problem on downloads, but uploads is a bit slower than usual.

Downloads are fine for me too, upload is a lil slow.

wtf to all 3 of u ^

lol what internet r u guys on?
i'm guessing the 25MB is the nitro? and the 13 and 14MB is extreme 1?

this on just normal highspeed. Damn, I am envious of those who are doing 5-digit speeds!

ok so I just redid the test http://www.speedtest.net/result/403101612.png
consistency is key -____-

posted it in hondas thread

this weekend has been horrendous like 400ms and 500kb down and up

contacted them they had no clue for about an hour then they ended up saying "yeah we've had lots of complaints, we'll look into it"

same today though


when i tried a washington server though the download would be 3000ish but thats still no where near what its supposed to be

nitro will be upgraded to 100 Mbps and xtreme-i will be upgraded to 15 Mbps when they roll out the new internet speeds

lol running on Extreme, though that nitro looks appealing right now

I've been pinging 175 on LC DotA games...

holly shit 100MB for nitro? hmmmmmm...... very very tmepting lol.

only available in saskatoon (need Docisis 3.0 network upgrade)

download speed test at speedtest.net using vancover server are not accurate. what is accurate is the shitty latency. 400-500ms is garbage.

All happy till I saw the fine print.

249.95 highsppednitro?
waoowoaoowa
